Minerva midi lovers - thoughts on this bag with no central compartment but top zipper closure as a potential work bag ?

It might just fit files or a computer in height - if someone has one with a zipper, it would be great to know the interior capacity.

I know I tried putting my 13" laptop in mine before (with neoprene sleeve), but I think it was a tight squeeze. Particularly, the top is less wider (given the shape of the bag) and the top zipper placement eats maybe an inch of that opening. I can take a look later. It's morning here and I'm at work. I can try tonight. And I think I didn't like it then because of the total weight.

Ooohhhh exciting!! It looks lovely - nice and structured.

I hope it will stay structured with use!

Has anyone ever seen a Miss M or Little Miss M in a leather other than flat calf? I was just on the website and noticed that you could select nappa, athene and vacchetta. Interesting thought!

I asked Marina about making it in nappa and she said it would be fine because they reinforce it. I'm thinking about it. [emoji28]

What leather is it in?

Let me see if I can find my kitchen scale. I know I put it somewhere...?.

Thanks Sora.
I was thinking for a lightweight summer tote with plenty of room for packed lunches, water bottle, sunscreen, etc, either a Barrington Gifts savannah zipped tote in nylon (less than a pound, but then I need to get attachments added for a crossbody strap that I already own), or a Modena in midnight tuscania with long strap. Although I already have several bags that are almost just right for such purposes, but....not quite. I have a great jujube diaper bag backpack but I need to wear my 2 year old on my back often and then a backpack is awful to have if your back real estate is already occupied. I have a great hello kitty Kipling nylon tote but the crossbody strap broke off and it doesn’t quite hold enough and is too N/S. I have a mz wallace Frankie in cobalt blue color that would be perfect but it is super heavy, 2.5 pounds. Same with my MZWwallace Kate diaper bag So no. I need a zip top carryall for next summer. Lightweight. Nothing in my collection is light enough or big enough or has a zip top.

It's in nappa. Cherry red color.

Does it have to be leather? Seriously, from what you said, I’d say you should look into nylon bags. Le sport sac?

I was thinking the same thing that @vink just posted - nylon? Not sure of the dimensions that are the best for your needs, but was just looking at Le Pliage totes myself. There are some great colors on sale right now.

Here are pics of mine with 13" laptop inside. The last 2 photos have the laptop with its neoprene case. There are plenty of space remaining inside, sorry forgot to take a photo to show that. Depth is still great even with the laptop in there. And sorry for the poor pic quality because it's night time here. As you may see in the last picture, there is no slouch at the top because the laptop is just right below the top zipper.




No issue on space I think. But the bag could definitely get heavy with all stuff you might put in.

Yeah the barrington totes are nylon.
I like Kipling and Tumi as well....
But I figured if the bag could double as a year round piece that’s money even better spent.

I don’t see why nylon can’t be a year round piece. I have no problem carrying Kipling or Le sport sac during my trip to a heavy snowy country, or even when I lived abroad in a very cold area. If you’re worried about getting stuff inside wet, get the waterproof type. There’re so many bags that now is waterproof or at least water repellent or have coating of some sort. Leather bags are heavy no matter how “light” they claim or try to be. And sound like you already have a hefty load to carry around. But that’s just me.

I just bought my sixth MZ Wallace nylon bag today, so yeah, I do carry nylon year round!
I think what I meant was that the nylon totes that I’m eyeing for summer will complement nicely with my summer wardrobe, and when weight matters because I’m with kids 24/7 and can’t deal with a leather bag. The rest of the year I generally prefer a leather bag.

I just weighed my Modena. 740 grams

No one’s asking me, I know, but I’m probably the most anti-nylon person around since I don’t have a single nylon bag. I didn’t like nylon even when Prada nylon was all the rage. My choice when I need to schwlep a lot is canvas or cloth. Hmmm... I think I finally understand why I never bought a Le Pliage bag. I like the Néo material though.
